GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The principal activity of the group during the year was the design and manufacture of display products.
The principal activity of the company during the year was as a holding company for the trading subsidiary.
Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2025 was £45,925,324 (2024: £49,891,883) decreasing by £3,966,559 on the prior year, and the pre-tax profit was £3,340,572 (2024: £4,727,029), a decrease of £1,386,457 on the prior year.
Gross profit for the year ended 31 December 2025 was £16,726,712 (2024: £17,031,209) decreasing by £304,497. The gross profit margin of 36.4% (2024: 34.1%) showed a decrease of 2.3%. Group net assets for 2025 were £6,683,957 (2024: £6,740,572) showing a decrease of £56,615. The directors remain confident of the group’s position in the market place and that it will continue to remain strong and profitable through its good management and operational planning.
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the business relate to the need to continue carefully monitoring any new US tariff announcements. The company has been largely unaffected by the current tariff set and the company remains confident that future US sales will remain unaffected in any future changes in the tariff rate. The business remains vigilant of its assessment of the supply chain of materials imported from China. The group will seek to mitigate any effects of the tariffs through operational changes of the supply chain. The customers in the US have agreed to the current level of tariff set by the US Government. Should the tariff levels increase, manufacturing will move to Diam Premium North America Inc based in US.
The directors seek to mitigate the impact of the above risk by ensuring that the group continues to work closely with the existing supply chain to minimise the levels of material price increase by securing prices in advance. The directors of the business have considered other risks and uncertainties that are outlined in the Directors' Report.
The directors of the group consider turnover (see above) and profit to be the key performance indicators. The profit being the profit after tax which for year ended 31 December 2025 was £2,444,219 (2024: £3,138,474) a decrease of £694,255 on the prior year.
The decrease in profit is largely due to lower turnover in 2025, as shown above, leading to decreased profits from prior year. However, the group’s overall performance surpassed the 2025 budget expectations, and sales in 2024 were considered an exceptional year for the business.
The directors of the group are confident that financial key performance indicators provide a comprehensive and reliable measure of business performance. At present, they do not see the need to incorporate additional non-financial key performance indicators, as the existing financial metrics are deemed sufficient for effective monitoring and decision-making.
The group places high importance on corporate social responsibility, in particular the businesses energy use and its carbon emissions produced. Further details of the group targets can be found on Directors' Report on Energy and Carbon Reporting.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
A directors' and officers' insurance policy has been put in place to ensure adequate coverage for all directors, protecting them for reasonable actions taken on behalf of the group. These indemnities, classified as a qualifying third-party indemnity provision under Section 234 of the Companies Act 2002, were active throughout the financial year and continue to apply to both current and former directors of the group.
During the year, the group did not engage in research and development activities (2024: £5,128).
The group continues to push its B2D – Back To Diam – recycling initiative to its customers as part of its ongoing commitment to reduce its carbon footprint and retains its membership with Ecovadis (Platinum grade – top 1% globally).
The directors recognise the importance of fostering strong and collaborative relationships with the group’s suppliers, customers, and wider stakeholders. Throughout the financial year, the board has remained committed to ensuring that these relationships are built on trust, transparency, and mutual benefit, contributing to the group's long-term success.
Engagement with Suppliers: We have worked closely with our suppliers to maintain resilient supply chains, ensuring consistent quality and service while supporting sustainable and ethical business practices. Regular communication, joint planning initiatives, and strategic partnerships have been essential in strengthening these relationships, enabling operational efficiency and innovation across the group. Engagement with Customers: Understanding and responding to customer needs has remained a priority. Through direct feedback, market analysis, and continuous improvements in our products and services, we have enhanced customer satisfaction and loyalty. Investments in digital solutions, customer service enhancements, and personalised engagement strategies have further strengthened our ability to deliver value and maintain long-term relationships. Engagement with Other Stakeholders: Beyond suppliers and customers, the board has engaged with regulators, industry bodies, and key partners to ensure responsible business operations and compliance with evolving regulations. Open dialogue and active participation in industry forums have supported our commitment to ethical business conduct and strategic decision-making. Impact on Principal Decisions: The directors have taken business relationship considerations into account when making key decisions, such as expanding service capabilities, adapting pricing models, and implementing sustainability initiatives. This stakeholder-focused approach has helped align our strategic direction with the interests of those who contribute to and rely on our business. The board remains dedicated to fostering positive engagement with suppliers, customers, and stakeholders to drive long-term business growth, stability, and ethical practices.

COSMOS NEWCO UK LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The group uses financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprising cash borrowings, cash and other liquid resources and various other items such as trade debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The policies have remained unchanged from previous periods.
The group finances its operations through a mixture of equity funding, retained profits, bank and inter-group borrowings. Management periodically reviews its funding structures to ensure an optimal structure is in place, bearing in mind the commercial needs of the group and its wider group and relevant legislation.
The group seeks to manage liquidity risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitable. This is achieved through appropriately structured bank and inter-group debt and equity facilities. Short term flexibility is achieved by invoice discounting facilities.
Foreign currency risk The group is exposed to transaction foreign currency risk.
The group seeks to minimise its exposure to bad debts by continually monitoring its exposure to customers and, where possible, agreeing payment profiles with customers.
The group does not have any branches that operate outside the UK.
The group has prepared a cash flow forecast projecting forward to the end of December 2027.
Capital spend has been achieved over recent years and continued investment in 2025 with further additions of machinery, and improvements made to the plant from funds generated through operations. While the UK offices were fully refurbished in 2025, there will be no depletion of capital capabilities over the coming years, as the plant remains to be stocked with good quality and relatively new equipment that will not need to be replaced in the near future. The business demonstrated continued growth during 2025, (with 2024 sales being considered exceptional) resulting in increased retained earnings providing stability. For 2026 and the foreseeable future, the company plans to continue in targeting growth of sales, by expansion in other segments of the market and increase the volume of its revenue streams.

The group track energy consumption (kWh) via bills for each year. This is then reported to group who use an emission factor to multiply and convert to metric tonnes. The emission factor is taken from ADEME.
There have been no significant events affecting the group since the reporting date.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has contributed to rising oil prices, which are having a direct impact on the cost of polymer-based raw materials. In addition, transport costs continue to rise, adding further pressure throughout the supply chain. The group have taken extensive measures to manage these pressures internally and to minimise the impact on the customers wherever possible in the form of using recycled materials from obsolete goods returned from market and using electric vehicles being charged from the array of solar panels owned by the business at the group’s site. However, the scale of the disruption and cost increases now being experienced means that price adjustments are unavoidable to continue supply reliably and sustainably. Nevertheless, the group remains committed to working closely with customers and maintaining continuity of supply wherever possible.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COSMOS NEWCO UK LIMITED
We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or the parent company to cease to continue as a going concern.
In our evaluation of the directors' conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the group's and the parent company's business model including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as cost of living crisis we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the directors and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the group's and the parent company's financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
